I have some dill to use up so making the kasha with mushrooms and dill (from AFR) along with grilled hot sauce tempeh (from VCON) and greens--I'm thinking maybe roasted brussel sprouts but maybe leafy greens would be better. Broccolini or rapini or sumpin like that.

Not sure what else--something with beans, probably. I'm thinking maybe the beans and kale dish from YRR over brown rice.

I'm on a tight budget and am limiting myself to whatever cash is in my wallet for groceries this week and I think I have $30 or $40 dollars so whatever foods I can get for that, I'm eatin. I need super cheap things until I get paid again.

Julie Hasson's brownies from Vegan Diner, which I already have the fixins' for.

Not in any particular order:Snobby JoesStir fry with gardein orange chik'n Fries with chik'n strips and some lazy vegLeek and bean cassouletSoup... Probably IDI alphabet soup.And maybe balsamic braised chickpeas over wild rice blend. We will see what the week brings.

Yesterday I made VEW stuffed artichokes and V'con Caesar Salad with roasted tempeh. We had leftovers from that tonight.Tomorrow I will make a big batch of v'con gumbo for packing for lunch or easy heat and eat dinners. I washed and chopped a lot of veggies for easy salad making all week. I feel some green smoothies coming on for breakfasts. Between some late work nights and a couple nights eating out with friends, that is probably the extent of cooking that will happen this week.

I'm having pizza too! Isa Pizza (mini pizzas) from VwaV. I just made the cashew ricotta, dough and pesto and put in the fridge for making mini pizzas here and there to order this week at my leisure. I had some leftover pizza sauce from my last bout of Isa Pizza's from the freezer and I have to use that up.

Also, the white beans and kale dish from YRR over brown rice.

Some bagel sammiches made with the classic tofu from IDI for sandwich slices--alongside some cabbage and rice soup from IDI which I made last week and froze to fill in any meal blanks if I run out of the other two dishes above before the week runs out.

I made cauliflower (and kale) cheese, using the sauce from the IDI sunflower mac. I added a little mustard and pepper to give it a kick. It was amazing! I'm not even ashamed to admit I ate the entire dish throughout the course of the evening.

Anyone else find it a little awkward cooking in other people's kitchens? I'm at my sister's house all week, babysitting her dogs while her family is vacationing in Costa Rica, and I just don't feel like cooking anything. Too out of my element when all the spices, cutlery, plates, etc. are completely different! Doesn't feel right chopping veggies without my trusted santoku in hand.

^Yeah, I dislike cooking in other people's kitchens. I have my own place set up just so (all the spices I use regularly on hand and well stocked, my favorite knife, peeler, grater and other utensils, etc. at the ready) so cooking anywhere else tends to pale for me. Even in nicer kitchens--like someone who has a fancy chef's kitchen but they don't actually cook so it's more showy and has less practical things that I actually use. I'm like ZOMG, you don't have a pizza stone! I can't cook without one! (*me= kitchen diva*) I need a decent knife and for the love of god, a good peeler. Give me something to work with! Stuff like that.
